Emission inventory

Below you can find an overview of the Emission Inventories developed by the Tropospheric Chemistry Modelling team of the Royal Belgian Institute for Space Aeronomy (BIRA-IASB). To get more information about a dataset or to download the data click the link to get to the dedicated page. We try to improve our datasets continuously therefore we recommend to use the most recently released inventories.
